i think specificaly the modem because (well here in aus atleast) lightning can travel up phone lines but not power lines from pole to house.

If you've got a decent surge protector (e.g. one made by Belkin.) then it should just blow the surge protector.
If you have any equipment not surge protected then expect to lose all the unprotected stuff in the case of a direct lightning hit.

(And, no, I don't work for Belkin - I just really like their surge protectors.)

Did you run outside your house, look directly at the hurricane, and yell "WILLLLLLLLLMA" in a Fred Flintstone voice at the top of your lungs?
